A Conversation with Joe Glaser & Steve Wariner - Truetone Lounge
Музыка
Today's episode features two legends of the Nashville music scene, Joe Glaser and Steve Wariner. Glaser's innovations include a neck plate mounted bender system, 3-pickup Tele-style builds, Plek fret leveling and nut cutting technology, Music City Bridge hardware and tool supply, and running the world-respected Glaser Instruments repair shop in Nashville. Steve Wariner is one of the most acclaimed singer/songwriters & guitarists to ever hit Music City. The 4-time Grammy Winner formed a guitar style using two Glaser Bender-equipped guitars, a Strat-style with beautiful neck inlays, and a red 3-pickup Tele. Both instruments became closely associated with Wariner via the many public appearances, videos, and photos featuring them. Today Joe and Steve discuss the inspiration and creation of these instruments, and how their collaboration helped shape their careers.
We also look at Jeff Senn's painstakingly made copy of Steve's red 3-pickup Tele that was made for Wariner to fly with when he wants to leave the original at home.

I’m not a great country fan. But through channels like this one I’ve come to learn that there’s zillions of stories by the players and people who know and love country music. Even more so than there are in other genres? It seems like that to me. Could it be because country music is about storytelling? I really love these people telling stories are about gear as well! Joe should really sit down to write a book! If he finds the time... 🖖
I got to meet Steve Wariner at the Ohio State Fair in the 80's. We were playing on the Free Stage and Steve came over and spent some time with us between our shows. He was one of the nicest country stars I have ever gotten to meet. I was too broke to go to his show that night but I treasure the time I got to spend with him. I also got to open for Dottie West about 6 months before she passed away. Her band, at the time, was Tony Toliver and the Lords of Nashville. I can't remember the fiddle player's name but he had previously played with Doug Kershaw...awesome fiddler. Great bunch of guys. They treated us like stars, even though we were far from famous. We didn't get to really meet Dottie though. She came to the stage directly from her bus and returned immediately after her show. Thanks for sparking some great memories. 😊😊😊
Truetone Lounge is fantastic! Thanks for another great interview!
Not a big Country fan, but I love this video. Great job Zac. You did a masterful job letting these men talk. Excellent! Masterful builder and great player, two for one !
Fascinating video with legends. Steve came up in Louisville so that always gives me a lil hometown pride. I just got my Music City Bridge for my R4 Gold Top last month. Its great....
Ever notice that the best of the best are always the nicest people
Thanks a lot, this is really deep. Such a treat being able to witness these masters share their love and respect for one another and those who came along before and shown us all the path forward.
That's as good as it gets this side of Heaven...thank you men for your contributions!!!

Glad you enjoy it!
Great interview. So much first person recollection here.
Well done Zac. What a great interview.
Referencing the discussion at about the one hour mark…back in the mid 80’s my band got the call to open for Steve - actually, he did his show and then we closed the night for dancing - at Merle’s Silverthorn club near Lake Shasta in California. I was stoked to see Steve’s band and sat right down in front. At some point during one of his tunes that he’s singing, he takes a drink of water…but his vocal continued! It was the damnest thing to witness. Like he says here, his brother Terry played drums and would sing the part so well you wouldn’t notice a change. I’m glad they spoke about that as it’s a fond memory for me. Thanks Zac, your channel is great!
Great episode . .. thank you gentlemen !

This has some good lore
.great episode...zac but 3 legends ZAC
Joe knows more about building guitars and how they sounds than I’ll ever know. But the idea that the wood or finish on a solid body electric guitar has anything to do with the tone on the guitar through an amp is a complete myth.
